So, I built my first thing.  Actually, it's my second thing but it's the same as the first project.  The difference being that I had this one powder coated and added graphics. I used Kustompowder.net as suggested in a post I read a while back.  I'm happy with the way it looks and as you can tell, it's just a simple A/B box.  The images I had screened on were a little small so I think that's why they are a little hard to make out.  Other than that, it works really well and is quiet.  Up next, a boost pedal. 



I think you can click on the link to see the full size if you like.

Thats better than most of the "first atempts" I see around here. I like it.

Cool, thanks for the kind words.  I just wanted to add that the graphics are all clip art from Microsoft Word.  Just FYI.  Oh and here's a picture of my lab.  The bench was a freebie.  Some guy next door was going to throw it out and asked me to take it so he wouldn't have to pay to junk it.  What luck. Don't really know why I'm including the picture except to say that I really enjoyed building that pedal and wanted to share  :icon_wink:

Looks good Hiwatt, I really like the view from your work bench as well, very relaxing.

I've built 15 or so stomps and working on some more.  Your first pedal blows away any of the stomps I did.  Nice work.  I wish I could powder coat and graphic my pedals like that.  (No money at the moment.)
